Ben and attorney Meryl Poulin of Gideon Asen talk with Rahul about a verdict obtained on September 30, 2022, in which a jury in Androscoggin County, Maine, returned a verdict of $5.5 million on a claim brought by the daughter of a decedent against a funeral services business for mishandling of her father's remains after death.  This is the largest jury verdict in Maine this year, and for the past several years.   At trial, the evidence showed that the funeral service was picking up decedents for cremation, but not processing the bodies for cremation, but rather allowing them to decompose in the basement of the funeral home.  Plaintiff alleged negligent and intentional infliction of emotional distress claims.  The damages claim was limited to Plaintiff's emotional distress in learning about the mishandling of her father's remains.  There were no physical injuries, medical expenses, or lost earnings claimed.   The pretrial offer was $7,500.   Here are some of the issues discussed on the podcast:  1. How to overcome defense attempt to benefit from a stipulation to liability.  2. How to turn Defendant's “acceptance of responsibility” argument against them at trial.  3. How to maximize recovery of emotional distress damages when there is minimal (or no) physical injury.  4. How to dismantle the “death by 1000 cuts” defense.  5. How to use voir dire to find jurors willing to assign real value to emotional distress damages.  6. How to captivate the jury with a powerful opening.  7. How to frame a powerful closing and rebutting close, even in a conceded liability case.  About Meryl PoulinMeryl is a Maine native and attended Colby College and the University of Maine School of Law. Meryl is an extraordinary athlete. At Colby, Meryl played varsity hockey, field hockey, and softball and was captain of the hockey and field hockey teams. Meryl was able to achieve incredible athletic success despite being sidelined for many months with two major knee injuries and reconstructive surgeries. Her experience dealing with chronic knee injuries gave her insight into the difficulties of living with pain and the effect of debilitating injuries on every part of a person's physical and emotional well-being. At Maine Law school, Meryl distinguished herself as an appellate advocate, winning the honor of “Prize Arguer” in her class and the Gignoux Award for Appellate Advocacy. Meryl was a part of two moot court teams that competed on a national level. In her third year, she and her moot court partner finished in the top three of a competition of more than forty. After law school, Meryl worked at a large law firm in Portland defending medical malpractice and personal injury cases. This work gave her a keen understanding of how insurance companies operate. “There is no shortcut to getting your client fairly compensated by an insurance company,” says Meryl. “You have to put your head down and do the work. Insurance companies respond only to intelligent, persistent, and dogged advocacy.” More recently, Meryl worked at Pine Tree Legal Assistance, Maine's largest legal aid organization. At Pine Tree, Meryl represented low-income Mainers in housing and eviction cases and survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault in protection order and family law cases. At Pine Tree Legal, Meryl tried nearly twenty cases to verdict and prevailed in all but one case. “I met Meryl when she was representing hospitals,” said Taylor Asen. “She was fearless, and I could see right away that she was going to be one of the best trial lawyers of her generation.”

Widely known as the “Pigford” or "Black Farmers" cases, this national class action lawsuit sought to address the racial discrimination Black farmers experienced between 1981 and 1996, including the denial or delay of their applications for federal farm credit services, loans or benefit programs. Citing the USDA's internal report of a failed civil rights complaint management system and a lack of diversity in Farm Service Agency county-level commissioners, Greg was able to negotiate a record settlement with the USDA for $1.25 billion to be distributed to class members in the form of damages, forgiveness of debt owed to the USDA and/or a tax payment to offset the awarded funds. This historic settlement was reached on February 18, 2010. As part of the settlement, President Obama signed the Claims Resolution Act of 2010, which provided $1.15 billion to pay successful claims. In May 2021, Gregorio published Just Harvest, a book detailing these groundbreaking cases against the U.S. government.

How do we use technology to create change? How do you empower a movement?   Aaron Freiwald, Managing Partner of Freiwald Law and host of the weekly podcast, Good Law | Bad Law, is joined by Law Professor Raymond Brescia, of Albany Law School, to discuss social movements, social change, and the impact of technology. The Hon. Harold R. Tyler Chair in Law and Technology at Albany, Ray is a student of today’s topic, having long been interested in the intersection between technology and community organizing.   In his most recent book, The Future of Change: How Technology Shapes Social Revolutions, Ray identifies a series of “social innovation moments” in American history. Today, Aaron and Ray explore the notions of “The Future of Change” and how these ideas relate to today’s technology, social media platforms, and cultural movements. In both his book and today’s episode, Ray explains that, almost without fail, developments in how we communicate shape social movements, just as those movements change the very technologies themselves. Aaron and Ray discuss these ideas using historical parallels and examples, such as the effects of the advent of the steam printing press on the Abolitionist movement, as well as contemporary instances and examples like Twitter and the #MeToo movement. Ray illuminates the complicated, dangerous, innovative, and exciting relationship between these technologies and social change. Aaron and Ray delve into how social movements have embraced communications technologies, touching on the topics of grass roots organizing, the duality of technology, shared destiny, group thinking and combating confirmation bias, deep fake videos and “fake news,” creativity in problem solving and advocacy, messaging and promotion, Ray’s notion of “the matrix,” and more.   Professor Brescia combines his experience as a public interest attorney in New York City with his scholarly interests to address economic and social inequality, the legal and policy implications of financial crises, how innovative legal and regulatory approaches can improve economic and community development efforts, and the need to expand access to justice for people of low and moderate income. Before his time at Albany, Professor Brescia was the Associate Director of the Urban Justice Center in New York, N.Y., where he coordinated legal representation for community-based institutions in areas such as housing, economic justice, workers’ rights, civil rights, and environmental justice. Prior to his work at the Urban Justice Center, Professor Brescia was a staff attorney at New Haven Legal Assistance and the Legal Aid Society of New York, where he was a recipient of a Skadden Fellowship after graduation from law school.   Professor Brescia also served as a Law Clerk to the pathbreaking Civil Rights attorney-turned-federal judge, the Honorable Constance Baker Motley, Senior U.S. District Court Judge for the Southern District of New York. While a student at Yale Law School, Professor Brescia was co-recipient of the Charles Albom Prize for Appellate Advocacy; was a student director of several clinics, including the Allard K. Lowenstein International Human Rights Law Clinic and the Homelessness Clinic; and was a Visiting Lecturer in Yale College.   Listen in to learn more!   To learn more about Professor Brescia, please visit his bio page here.

RG & GR Harris Funeral Homes has been serving the Detroit area for more than 100 years. To ensure that the family members and friends of a deceased love one are focused on processing their grief, the funeral home has professional conduct and dress codes. In 2007, the funeral home hired Stephens, a biological male, who agreed to abide by these codes, including the company’s sex-specific dress policy, in his work as a funeral home director. Six years later, Stephens approached the funeral home’s owner, said that he was actually a woman trapped in a man’s body, and expressed his intent to come to work wearing a dress. The owner was very concerned about Stephens and also about other employees and clients; he ultimately determined that it was best for everyone to part ways. The EEOC sued and claimed that this was “sex” discrimination under Title VII. The 6th Circuit agreed, but the Supreme Court has now agreed to hear the case. Although the federal government now concedes that it was wrong in the interpretation of Title VII that it persuaded the 6th Circuit to adopt, Stephens, represented by the ACLU, defends the 6th Circuit’s ruling. This teleforum will examine: (1) whether the public meaning of “sex” discrimination when Title VII was enacted in 1964 included gender identity and transgender status, and (2) whether Stephens has stated a claim for sex stereotyping under Title VII.Featuring:John Bursch, Founder, Bursch Law PLLC and Vice President of Appellate Advocacy and Senior Counsel, Alliance Defending Freedom Teleforum calls are open to all dues paying members of the Federalist Society.

You haven't lived until you've heard Kurt expound on all things liberal -- he has the knowledge, the humor, and the spine one would expect from an Army Colonel, to speak up and say the things that too many mealy-mouthed pundits won't. Prepare to laugh and feel good about being a conservative. And remember to use the hashtag #Caring. ************************** In the second 1/2 hour my guest will be Robert Alt. Robert Alt is the President and Chief Executive Officer of The Buckeye Institute, where he also serves on the Board of Trustees.

Alt graduated with his B.A. in political science and philosophy magna cum laude from Azusa Pacific University where he won the Outstanding Senior Award in Political Science. Robert and I will discuss his informative article, It's Time For Public Sector Workers To Be Given A Voice And Choice. As written in the article: Every morning, hardworking men and women in every state drink their coffee and diligently go to work on our behalf—in our neighborhoods as public school teachers, home care workers, engineers, and in agencies protecting the environment. Unfortunately, while these civic-minded professionals go to work for us, the labor unions that they must join in order to teach our children or serve our communities do not always work for them. Once a public-sector union is certified, it remains the workers' representative—potentially forever. In Ohio, for example, the Columbus Education Association has represented Columbus public school teachers since 1968—back when the Beatles were still together and before many of today's teachers were even born. Heirloom unions inherited from the Nixon-era are depriving today's public workers and civil servants of any meaningful voice or choice in their workplace. Ninety-four percent of union workers have never had the chance to vote for or against their unions Read more at The Buckeye Institute's project site Worker Voting Rights.
